Wow, double wow and Triple Wow
Wow number 1-
Did you know what kernel was there before flashing a new one?
That may have gotten the ball rolling on your prob there....
If you flashed a different kernel than what you should have...
Double Wow-
The flasher you used...
perhaps for the 770, n800, n810 it works with an OSX host computer....
but that flasher really never was meant for the n900 ....
if memory serves...
Personally I've never tried flashing with a osx host machine so I'm perhaps not one to look to on how well the flashing process works utilizing osx hosts ...
Triple Wow-
That "unable to find device" is really about the flasher and the host communicating improperly with the n900...due to missing drivers on your host and the improper flasher...it couldn't find the device...It's looking for an n770 or n800 or even an n810...not an n900....and the host not having requisite drivers in place to recognize the n900 when it connects doesn't help....But even so....
Triple wow...
Wowwowwow...
Be a wee bit concerned at this point ...
but not worried or horrified or sweating bullets...
I think it should be fixable...
Best suggestion is grab fffff whatever-flasher (
) and all your pertinent flashing images and files and use a (friend's) linux machine (this flashing tool works grand)
or
grab the nokia internet tab. software update wiz. and use a (friend's) winxp / win7 machine. ...relevant driver to allow win7 see the n900...
or
grab flasher 3.5 (think it still works fine ...haven't tried it in a bit ...6months-1yr...)
Those methods work well...
Just gotta do it right.
Just make sure you pay attention to instructions...
regardless which host type (linux or ms) you use...
Shout out if you hit a wall along the way...
I'm sure one of us will chime in with help...
Do it right and it should put your device back in operation.

so I tried to flash it, but 770 flasher seems not working on my version of OSX.

anyone can help me ?
It might be easier using an Ubuntu Live CD or virtual machine (or a Windows XP PC). If you can't find the flasher provided by Nokia, try using the Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher (0xFFFF) [2] as it's currently in development by Pali from this community - but you'll need to use Linux to use it.

yea...
what mrsellout says....
Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher (0xFFFF) that's the name!
Never could remember that mouthful..
that flasher's the ticket!
Works good...
All the mentioned ones work good..excepting small points (necessary drivers...pulling the batt at strategic moments ...etc....) you must be aware of.....

thanks guys.
After wandering around the internet I managed to use ubuntu on a virtual machine, then get everything i needed to flash my device.
but at this stage, everything I try alway end up by a
"sudo: flasher-3.5: command not found"
I followed the process step by step, and I have now the flasher 3.5 executable on my ubuntu desktop.
can anyone light my path a bit more ?
